CrossFit is a trainig program that challenges convention. We don't subscibe to fitness practices simply because they have been used in the gym before. We choose movement and workouts that produce results. We also don't reject practices that have been tried and true simply to be different. One movement that we don't use often but that has its value is the bench press. It is one of the classic power lifts. Along with the deadlift and the back squat we use the bench press to develop our strength.
